Merino wool. Wet and needle felted.
 
This schoolboy wet felted portrait is a bold statement of urban multiculturality and empowerment. It has a very interesting textured surface, due to the use of needle felting to create 3D effects.The ancient felting and embroidery techniques are remodeled in a bold modern urban rendition of everyday human types.
This small-sized portrait  (around 35x38 cm in size, unmounted) has a rich natural-colours feeling, tending to greys and browns.

 
This portrait is part of the "Ealing people" series by the artist.
